Anest Iwata (who have a 51% majority stake in SCR) revolutionized the industry in 1991 as the first to develop a full-scale oil-free scroll compressor.

Their precision-engineered scroll airends deliver unmatched performance with orbiting and fixed scrolls that compress air in a continuous, smooth motion—eliminating the need for oil while ensuring Class 0 certified clean air (ISO 8573-1).

Key advantages include exceptionally low noise and vibration for quieter workspaces, compact design, high reliability with up to 8,000–10,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, and energy efficiency. Ideal for sensitive applications like dental clinics, laboratories, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics manufacturing.

Trusted globally (with millions of units in service), these airends are supplied to leading brands and set the benchmark for oil-free compressed air technology.

So, if you're upgrading to cleaner, quieter, and more reliable compressed air—SCR scroll compressors are the smart choice.
